Peru is a country that has so many things for travelers and visitors alike to do that it can be somewhat difficult planning the trip on your own; with all
the high and low seasons, rainy and dry as well as knowing when the best time to visit a place is you can bet that having a professional travel service taking
care of you during your entire trip can be very a useful commodity indeed.
The crowned jewel of any Peru vacation is usually getting to the lost Inca city in the Andes mountain range. Now "how to get to Machu Picchu" can
be an interesting journey all on its own. Now you can always take the easiest route during your Peru tours which is a train at cusco or
ollantaytambo into the the town at the foothills of Machu Picchu called "Aguas Calientes" . At aguas calientes you will usually spend a night or
maybe two if you should desire it, you can rest check out the local restaurants and shops and head to the Inca citadel very early the following
morning in order to catch the sun emerging from within the Andes Mountains into the highland sky. The sunrise from Machu Picchu is an incredible
spectacle and gives you an insinuation into why the Inca worshipped the sun. There is of course nothing wrong with this method when trying to
figure out "how to get to Machu Picchu" but there are others which can be more scenic to say the least.
The Inca trail for one takes you deep into the Andes Mountains for 3-5 days (depending on what package you acquired) through beautiful highland
scenery, crisp air and of course high altitude weather which constantly changes. You will get to sleep under the Andean night where the stars look
brighter than almost anywhere else in the world thanks to this region being able to have almost complete darkness at night. Before you know it you
will arrive at Machu Picchu directly and be well on your way for your Machu Picchu tours.
